Note: When the Time Base Mode is set to "XY", the XY cursor measurement mode is 
valid. 
 
 
Manual Mode 
 
In this mode, you can adjust the cursor manually to measure the value of the 
waveforms of the specified source at the current cursor. The measurement results 
are displayed at the upper-left corner of the screen. When you change the cursor 
position, the measurement results will be changed accordingly. 
 
Press Mode to select "Manual" to enable the manual cursor measurement function. 
If the settings for the parameter such as "Select", "Source", "Hori. Unit", and "Vert. 
Unit" are different, the measurement results will be different for cursor measurement. 
The measurement results are displayed at the upper-left corner of the screen, as 
shown in the figure below. 
 
 
⚫  AX: indicates the X value at Cursor A.   
⚫  AY: indicates the Y value at Cursor A. 
⚫  BX: indicates the X value at Cursor B. 
⚫  BY: indicates the Y value at Cursor B. 
⚫  △X: indicates the horizontal spacing between Cursor A and Cursor B. 
⚫  △Y: indicates the vertical spacing between Cursor A and Cursor B. 
⚫  1/△X: indicates the reciprocal of the horizontal spacing between Cursor A and 
Cursor B. 
 
1.  Select Cursor Type 
Press Select continuously to select the cursor type. 
⚫  X: It is a pair of vertical solid (Cursor A)/dotted (Cursor B) lines, used for 
measuring time parameters. The measurement results include AX, BX, △X, 
and 1/△X (displayed only when "s" or "Hz" is selected under Hori. Unit). 
⚫  Y: It is a pair of horizontal solid (Cursor A)/dotted (Cursor B) lines, used for 
measuring voltage parameters. The measurement results include AY, BY, 
and △Y. 
 
2.  Select Measurement Source 
Press Source, then rotate the multifunction knob    to select the desired 
source (CH1-CH4). Press down the knob to select it. You can also press Source 
continuously or enable the touch screen to select it. The available source
